New Titleist T-Series T100, T150, T250, T350 Irons and U-505 and T250-U Utility Irons (2025) - Titleist Fitting Review

I recently went through a Titleist fitting for the new 2025 T-Series irons and utilities.  I hit every iron, the T100, T150, T250, and T350, as well as the U-505 and T250-U utilities.  And I can sum up the entire fitting by telling you this T-Series is Titleist's GOAT.  No exaggeration.

Something was legitimately improved in every model.  In some ways even significantly improved.  And more than any line in Titleist history all four iron models blend about as perfectly as possible for combo variations.  There's actually a fifth iron model as well - the T250 Launch Spec, but I didn't test that iron.  I'll let you know what my ultimate set wound up being at the end.
